joewilly12 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Vince Young completed 6-of-7 passes for 41 yards and a touchdown and rushed three times for 39 yards in Friday night's third preseason game. Your Aaron Rodgers backup (and "handcuff" in deep leagues). Through three preseason appearances, V.Y. is 12-of-19 passing (63.2 percent) for 74 yards, the touchdown, and no turnovers. He's still got some juice in his legs with 58 yards rushing on six scrambles. Young has generally moved the offense and is clearly a superior backup option over Graham Harrell and B.J. Coleman.

Larz Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 believe it or not, the player has a say in things. this isn't madden where you press a button and he signs I don't want to go back to the o'donnell days where you overpay by 40% just to get guys to come here. build through the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Vince Young was an available free agent. The Jets could have cut Sanchez and ended this nightmare. Vince Young on his worst day isn't as bad Sanchez. Rex Ryans love affair for Sanchez is the only thing keeping him in a Jets uni. If Rex sticks with him this season I hope they are both gone next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its ridiculous to see how many chances he gave Sanchez. Kid is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rex sticks with him this season I hope they are both gone next year. Um... I'm pretty sure that if they cut Sanchez that he costs $5M MORE than he does if the keep him. They aren't keeping him because Rex Ryan loves him, they are keeping him because it's cheaper than cutting him. I thought everybody knew that.

If Rex sticks with him this season I hope they are both gone next year. They couldn't cut Sanchez and then sign anyone. That's not how the money worked. And Vince Young is a retread. There is no purpose of bringing him in. ......or Jason Campbell. Both are better options then Sanchez and are better examples to learn from for Geno. No. They aren't, on either count.

T0mShane Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Vince Young is batsh*t crazy. This Jets team is the opposite environment of the one Young needs to be in.

Me too but if he doesn't win the job its gonna be another long season with Sanchez at least Vince Young would have made it a better season. If you all remember they signed David Garrard to battle Sanchez and that plan failed. I would have preferred they signed Vince Young if he was our starter this season id feel ok.

If you all remember they signed David Garrard to battle Sanchez and that plan failed. I would have preferred they signed Vince Young if he was our starter this season id feel ok. What's the point of that? Is 7-9 really that much better than 6-10 or 5-11? This is a rebuilding year. It is what it is and their record will be what it will be. No one's saying that they should intentionally tank, but by the same token, why bring in a vet for one year that may make you a little better that year, but will hurt the team in the long run, because if your year is not gonna be a playoff year anyway, then in terms of the draft 4-12 is much better than 6-10 or 7-9. A team that is rebuilding can turn around their fortunes much quicker if they're drafting in the top 5 picks of every round and getting the prime choice of players vs a mediocre 7-9 or 8-8 team who, to get players that they need that can really help them either has to reach, trade a bunch of picks to move up, or just do without and get the best players they can where they are (which isn't that great). You have a one year at the time view. That's a fan's view (and a short-sighted one). Idzik has to take the long-term view and think about what's best for the team going forward. Especially since this is a rebuilding year, the team's record is almost irrelevant. Rather this season is about developing their young players and seeing who is going to help them going forward, particularly Geno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Why would we sign Vince Young? We are trying to build a Seatle Seahawks type dynasty. lol But in all seriousness. This might be the worst Jets free agent class ever and that is saying a lot. No creativity, no solid vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
